To the editor:

It is my great honor and pleasure to invite the community, beloved donors, and dedicated fans of the Leominster American Little League, to a fun-filled day as we celebrate the “good old summertime game of baseball”, beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 17, at the Ronnie Bachand Memorial Field, located off 12th Street, in Leominster.

At this time we will give honor to Vern Brideau, a man of the community who gave wholeheartedly and selflessly of himself to the game of baseball and the Leominster American Little League.

In 1984, Vern and his fellow players, brought home the “Leominster American Little League State Championship”, and we will honor those players from the 1984 team.

Our past, present and future ball players will also be honored and the Jonathan Roberge Memorial Scoreboard may be rededicated.

The parade will begin at 1:15 p.m. from the Franco Vet Center (arrive at 1 p.m. at the Franco's if you want to participate in the parade); followed by ceremonies and the city acknowledging Vern Brideau and the 1984 state title team at 1:45 p.m.; follwed by some little league baseball.

Come and “catch” the games.

The Leominster American Little League teams look forward to your attendance.

On behalf of the Leominster American Little League, I thank you for your support and participation in cheering on our players.
